Hopping John In A Pressure Cooker

Rice

This is a variation of something my grandmother used to make with h*m hocks. It's a long way from the original. This makes approx. 5 litre s., enough to freeze half or feed a crowd. Put the water in the cooker, turn burner to high. Stir in spices. Rinse rices and put in cooker. Throw in black-eyed peas, greens, and stewed tomatoes. Bring to simmer with the top off, stirring occasionally, until frozen stuff has thawed somewhat and greens are separated. Lock the lid down, bring to high pressure. Cook at high pressure for 30 minutes, remove from heat and allow natural pressure release. Adjust seasoning if necessary. Tobasco sauce is a must on the table. I use an 8 litre cooker, cut recipe in half if you use a smaller cooker.
